European Fuel Price Comparison


Don Madge

Recommended Posts

I've been doing some checking on the cost of fuel in Europe and was surprised to find that in many countries diesel is now more expensive than petrol.

 

The Price Comparisons - Surveyed in September

See http://www.aaroadwatch.ie/eupetrolprices/

 

Another surprise was the diesel in Switzerland is on a par with Luxembourg and the petrol is cheaper.

 

I don't know when in September these figures were put together but given today's economical climate they could be way out. I just use them to compare prices between countries that I will be travelling through.

 

Safe travelling.

I find one of the problems of comparison is the much greater variation of prices in France. By way of example, on our trip to the Loire in August the cheapest standard diesel was 124.8 E/l in a large supermarche, the mid range in big brand garages and easy to find on main roads was 136-139E, and on the Autoroutes it was commonly 144-149E.

 

Given the exchange rate at the time that meant our cheapest fill was at about 98p/l (!) and the dearest 117p/l. It was 134.9p back here at the time - in garages simliar to the French 'mid range'.

 

Oh to be really part of the Euro community!!

 

Best regards, Neill.
